Algebraic expressions are made by replacing sentences with numbers, symbols and letters. For example, a number increased by \(5\) and then divided by \(2\) is written algebraically as; \( \frac{x+5}{2} \). In this mathematical form you can see that algebraic expressions are a universal language where symbols and letters can be translated to any language.
Each part of an algebraic expression has a special name. The next video explains what variables, constants, coefficients and terms are.

Degree of an algebraic expression
The degree of an algebraic expression with a single variable is the highest exponent of that variable. For example, the degree of the expression \( { x}^{3} \)\(+\)\( x\)\(-4\) is \(3\).
You can also find the degree of an algebraic expression with more than one variable. The degree of an expression with more than one variable is the highest sum of the powers of the variables. The degree of \( { x}^{3} {y}^{4}\)\(+\)\( x\)\({y}^{2}\)\(-xy\) is \(7\). [edit: I suggest removing the above link to the quiz below - it's not necessary]
